Corruption in Ukraine Part 1

A hopeless money pit that exemplifies America’s arrogance in its continued attempt to fix other countries

joe biden

It is not  hard at all to find corruption in Ukraine. As I searched the web, I found it everywhere, and at all levels of life. In the life of everyday citizens it is pervasive and accepted as normal. This is a different culture, that Americans simply cannot understand. What would any American do or say if when making an appointment at the doctor, they had to pay the nurse a bribe in order to get that appointment? Or how about if you wanted to ride the bus, and the driver demanded a bribe before you could board? Its everywhere. In business its even worse. Want to get a building permit? Pay a series of bribes. Want to ship products to another city? Bribe the driver and hope your goods arrive and are not stolen. Ukrainians cannot escape corruption. In fact, they have become extremely complacent when it comes to corruption.  They simply accept it as a way of life. So when it comes to corruption at the upper levels of government, they are simply cynical and feel helpless to do anything about it. It goes on and on, all, with impunity.  I might add, that this level of corruption develops slowly over many, many years. If what is happening in America right now, is allowed to continue unpunished, we will wind up just like Ukraine.

To say the government of Ukraine is corrupt is a gross understatement. Let me start with some basic history, just in case you are unfamiliar with Ukraine. Ukraine sits almost in the middle of Europe. Its longest border is with Russia, and it sits on the Black Sea directly across from Turkey. Its capital is Kiev. Prior to 1991, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union and still has many former Russian patriots living there. Prior to 1991, a great deal of the Soviet Union’s nuclear arsenal was located in Ukraine.  In 1994. Russia, Ukraine, and the United States reached an agreement where Ukraine would return all warheads to Russia for eliminating, while the US and Britain would provide certain security assurances. Since then we have conducted a foreign policy to briviktor yuschenkong Ukraine closer to Europe and out from Russian influence. A series of Soviet style presidents have been “elected” to Ukraine’s highest office since Ukraine became an independent nation in 1991, each one being more corrupt than the previous. In 2004 a man named Viktor Yushchenko was president of Ukraine. His policies like all previous Ukrainian presidents was to cozy up to Europe and move away from Russia. In 2004  a presidential election was held and Yushchenko’s opponent was  Viktor Yanukovych….yeah, I know, who can keep these names straight? Viktor YanukovychIn a close election, Yanukovych, a Russian puppet, won, but huge protests broke out in what became to be called the orange revolution. Under claims of voter fraud and vote rigging, the election results were annulled by the courts, and another election was held. Yushchenko maintained the presidency.

The next election was in 2010, and this time, Yanukovych won outright.  You got to know that this truly was Russian interference.  During this time Europe was courting Ukraine and talk of entering NATO was prevalent. Yanukovich was ready to sign a deal with Europe for a large aid package in the billions, when, at the last minute, made the decision to accept a loan from Russia instead. You see, it was all a lie, Yanukovych was a Russian stooge. His move sparked an actual revolution in 2014, where he was ousted, then fled to Moscow. There is no doubt that the CIA and what we call the deep state were   behind the revolution. The CIA and deep state are singularly laser focused on Russia and doing as much damage as possible to them….they just can’t get out of the cold war.

Before I leave the presidency of Yanukovych, let me give you a great example of the kind of corruption we’re talking about. In order to woo Ukraine under the European/NATO umbrella, Britain, Germany and others made a big deal of helping Ukraine to recover billions of dollars in offshore accounts, thought stolen from Ukraine. In March of 2014, the BNP bank in London received a request from Yanukovych’s lawyers to close an account and transfer the money to the bank of Cyprus. In the scheme of billions, it was a paltry $23 million. Still, a lot of cash. When the transfer was reported to Britain’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) the transfer was placed on hold, pending investigation. Theresa May, the then Home Secretary, decided to make a big statement by holding the money. Yanukovych sued the bank. Investigators in Ukraine informed Britain that the money belonged to Ukraine and should not be released, but after a year, the case came before a British judge and Ukraine changed its story. Higher ups in the Ukranian prosecutor’s office, whose names were not disclosed, sent a letter stating “no crimes have been committed” to warrant the hold. As we will see, this happens a lot in Ukraine, honest investigators and journalists uncover criminal activity only to be ignored or disposed of by others in the government.

Understand that our history with Ukraine is complicated. What I just gave you was a very broad overview. Russia has always thought of Ukraine as part of Russia and so in 2014, when the CIA ousted Yanukovych, they moved on Crimea. Crimea is part of Ukraine and is a strategic Black Sea asset. They soon after, moved on to Eastern Ukraine, where a hot war has been going on since 2014. We are told over and over that Russia is evil and the aggressor, but as in so many instances, it is our CIA that prompts these aggressions by meddling in other countries. But let’s get back to corruption.

viktor poroschenko
Poroschenko

 

Poroschenko became the next president of Ukraine when elected in 2014. He became the face of corruption. Poroschenko was an oligarch in Ukraine, who made his fortune in the candy industry, known as the “chocolate king”.  But his fortune was bigger than that. He was in many other industries and agriculture, and had created bank accounts and shell companies all over the world, as he pillaged the national treasury. His candy company was registered in Cyprus, a perennial tax haven.  After the voters ousted Yanukovych, Poroschenko picked up where he left off.

Corruption is a strange evil. Like it or not, it is rampant in our society and across the world. Most people, everywhere, seem to take it in stride, and feel helpless to do anything about it. I must say, as a little guy focused on this evil, it is certainly frustrating to know what I know, and yet, nothing is ever done to end it, at least here. If I may wane philosophical, it is human nature to be corrupt, to seek power over others through acquiring wealth…..corrupt behavior is always easier than the hard work it takes to actually build something through effort or to gain power and respect by doing what is right. Especially if those that are to post guard over corruption….law enforcement, are also corrupt.

The story of Ukraine is the pinnacle of what happens to a society that becomes incessantly corrupt. The people are oppressed, poor, and without work. Foreign investment is almost non-existent, and the country is drained of its resources and wealth. every year, an estimated $12 billion dollars exits Ukraine, money that has illicit or unknown origins. To add to that sad story, America has invested tens of billions of dollars in Ukraine since they broke away from Russia. A lot of that money simply disappeared. In one reported instance, $7.2 billion found its way into The US investment fund, Franklin Templeton and another $600 million into the American hedge fund operated by Blackrock Capital. The money reportedly came from the Ukraine Sovereign Fund…..state money…..appropriated by Poroschenko.

There is so much corruption in Ukraine I could write a lengthy book about all the avenues it takes…..I’m not going to do that. But before I get into the Bidens and the corruption people are interested in today as it applies to the current impeachment fiasco, allow me to tell you about a document I found, that I will discuss in part 2 of this post.  I had really planned to provide a link to it, so you could see the whole thing, but three days after I downloaded it, it was removed by “foreignassistance.gov”. So I have included two screen shots of the document. I can’t post the whole document because…..get ready….. its a spread sheet with 18,067 rows and 12 columns. Its a somewhat detailed accounting of all the money spent in Ukraine and who it went to. You see, when we think of foreign aid, we believe that the US government is giving tax money to other governments. But that’s not how foreign aid generally works. The money is appropriated by congress, given to USAID, (United States Agency for International Development) the State Department, or other agencies, through budgeting, then USAID or State assigns it to an organization or company to “manage”, who then determines who will get it and how it will be used. Now, I’m speculating, but I can only imagine the vast number of opportunities for this money to be misused or simply stolen.                                                 I’ll talk about that in Part 2

Are the Biden’s corrupt? As much as we’d all like it to be true, after extensive research, I cannot find a shred of evidence that JOE Biden is corrupt. Yes….there is the usual pay for play and access that most powerful senators are all guilty of because of our disgusting campaign financing rules. To be honest, I can’t believe I just said that. It seems I have become complacent, like everybody else, about the everyday corruption in Washington that we all accept. Joe has indulged in this over the years to garner support from unions, banks and the usual villains. But to say he is corrupt would be unfair. His bank records indicate he never really benefitted from his position. However, as much as I don’t want to paint Joe as a victim, he is extremely loyal to his family and its his family that really stinks of illegality. I would say Joe Biden has been protecting Hunter his whole life.

James Biden

 

Joe’s brother JAMES Biden was described in one article as a “serial entrepreneur”. That’s a kind way to describe a crook. He has started and closed a dozen companies, mostly in finance. Each one shadier than the previous and HUNTER, his son, was partner to James in many of them. James and Hunter, for years, have used the Biden name and Joe’s position to leverage loans, deals, and contracts. Just how much involvement Joe had is not known. In one venture, Paradigm Global Advisors, a hedge fund accumulator, was acquired by James and Hunter using an $8.1 million promissory note. that in the end, was never paid.  According to Politico:

“One former executive said Hunter and James used the assets as a personal account drawing out as much as a million dollars in a single year. At one point, the executive said, Hunter called him and asked him to hand over $21,000 in company funds for a personal mortgage payment. When the executive refused, saying the funds were needed to cover operating expenses, he recalled that Hunter — who recently told The New Yorker he has spent most of his life living paycheck to paycheck — responded that he might lose his house. “Hunter did take substantial dollars out of the company,” said a second former Paradigm executive, describing the withdrawals as a “semi-regular” subject of discussion and concern within the firm.”

Its only speculation, but this also corresponds in a timeline with the severe alcohol and drug habit that Hunter Biden had. It seems like having access to millions of dollars and a drug habit don’t bode well for success. But that’s just me. Politico wrote a very well researched piece on the Bidens and there seedy business ventures. Its rather long, but goes into great detail….you can read it here. Joe is one of the few Washington lifers that never became a millionaire until after becoming VP. For many years he lived a pretty mundane financial life, never amassing a fortune, starting a foundation,  or writing a book….oh wait…..he did amass a fortune, but not until after becoming the VP. He did start a foundation in 2017. And it was one of those foundations that purported to solve the world’s problems…not unlike another foundation we all know…..the difference with it, is that he shut it down last year, when he decided to run for president.

You see, being president provides power…..a lot more power than running a foundation. And…. that power provides access to the money. He also did write a couple of books that earned him 7 figures. He now claims $100,000 to speak and has cashed in big after leaving office.

 

 

 

Just to be clear, you’ve all seen the video of Joe bragging about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, fired.

The democrat line is that there is evidence that this particular prosecutor was partial to his friends and often slow walked or declined prosecutions of certain “connected” Ukranians. He was considered corrupt by the EU and many other countries. Joe seemed to just be following the crowd as he did most of his career. Putting Joe Biden in charge of cleaning up corruption in Ukraine was like putting Pee Wee Herman in as the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs…..he was out of his league.  Joe Biden was made “point person” in Ukraine right after Russia invaded and annexed the Crimea, a sovereign part of Ukraine, in February of 2014. He was to evaluate the situation, coordinate US foreign policy there, and oversee US aid. Two months after that appointment, in April of 2014, a company you will hear a lot about, Burisma, placed Hunter Biden and Devon Archer onto its board.  They were  each paid a million dollars a year.

Burisma Holdings  is an oil and gas company, one of the largest in Ukraine. It is a conglomerate with many subsidiaries, and even though its a Ukrainian company, it is registered in Cyprus. Its sales are undisclosed, but estimated to be in the $4-500 million/year range. As an aside, it does most of its business in Ukraine, but also has holdings and sales in Kazakhstan. This made me think about the 5 part series I did on corruption in Kazakhstan, second only to Ukraine in the levels of corruption. Burisma operates very much like the companies in that country. You can read that series here. Burisma is owned by a Ukrainian Oligarch named  Mykola Zlochevsky.

zolochevsky
Mykola Zlochevsky

Zlochevsky formed Burisma in 2002. While owning Burisma he became Minister of ecology and natural resources in 2010. Unlike in our political process, there is no divesting of personal holdings while working in the government. So it is alleged that while serving as the minister of natural resources and running Burisma, he illegally transferred exploration licenses to Burisma. When Yanukovych was ousted in 2014, Zlochevsky also fled the country, believed to be living in Monaco. Since that time, investigations into Zlochevsky and Burisma have been on again off again, depending on who was investigating the disappearance of Ukrainian money. In Ukraine, money can buy a lot of silence. This was the backdrop to the 2014 Hunter Biden position.

Enter Rudy Giuliani.

Rudy Giuliani has made a big deal of this firing and the video below is of Giuliani interviewing the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. This clip I cut from the longer pod cast, is the beginning salvo from Giuliani to reveal the truth. I have to admit that I’m not a Giuliani fan and he’s a little over the top on some of his assertions. But you can at least judge for yourself Shokin’s credibility by watching the 25 minute video. For those of you that don’t here are the highlights. Giuliani asserts that Shokin is not corrupt, that he has never been accused or convicted of anything illegal….hasn’t even ever been in court charged with anything….squeaky clean! I could just shut up know, but I doubt very seriously that there are any individuals in Ukraine that are squeaky clean. However, for me the highlight of the video is a document he obtained that came from Latvia. The document alerts Ukrainian prosecutors of a suspected money laundering scheme taking place. Burisma had diverted $14 million from a Latvian bank to several shell companies, eventually finding its way to Cyprus, then distributed as “board member expenses”. The document names at least 5 board members, including Biden and Archer. the document also lays out individual payments to those board members, ranging from $300,000 to $1.2 million…..all except Biden and Archer. Giuliani asserts that when he asked why, he was told that the US embassy instructed the Latvian government to leave those amounts out.  Its to yet to be seen if any of it is true……but any sane individual can only conclude that whatever is going on there with the Bidens is worth further investigation by somebody that’s honest.

 

 

Hunter Biden is another whole story…..his whole career was about lying, cheating, stealing,  addiction, womanizing and conning anyone that could be conned. He used his father’s position to leverage others to give him money, money he soon spent or lost. A poor, unredeemed, lost sole. James and Hunter are the people they make movies about. Always looking for the next score…the next big deal….another get rich quick scheme, that in the end, never comes. I think looking at the Bidens, however, is looking in the wrong direction for corruption. The corruption in Ukraine is systemic and lots of Americans are involved. In part 2 of this story I will cover how I think the money is moving from your wallet to wealthy elite bank accounts and how the corruption in Ukraine affected the 2016 election.

After spending weeks learning about Ukraine and writing the blog above, new information came out today. (February 7th, 2020) Glenn Beck reported, in his fourth installment on Ukraine, what he thinks is really going on. Its earth shattering. WAR! All these dweebs in our government are funding and conducting an actual hot war with Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy. All without any knowledge of the Congress….at least none that we’re told of. Seems like war with Russia would be something they might want to mention…..just another example of our CIA and State Deparment conducting their own foreign policy. Trump actually wants to stop this crap….so he’s gotta go. So watch Glenn’s video…its crammed with information. I’ll still be reporting on the document I found at a later date….when I have digested it.

 

 

 

Russian Collusion, the Real Story

Why the CIA is fighting so hard to remove Trump

As I dig deeper into the coup attempt by officials at the highest levels of our government, I hesitate to go on. Not because I don’t care, but because what I am learning….maybe I shouldn’t know. Now there is no way I, or anybody but those involved, can know the workings of the CIA or the Intelligence Community….its designed that way. So the pieces I am able to glean are certainly incomplete and mysterious, and leave many questions. Last year I began a ten part series on the Clinton Foundation titled “Into The Weeds”. I used that title, because everything I found was complicated and took focus to follow. I’m sure many readers were confused. Well, this next part of the story makes that look like a child’s book.

That said, I believe I can conclude that I know what happened. It all starts with the Magnitsky Act! What the hell is that??? Yes, I know, only a handful of informed conservatives know what it is or why it was enacted, and why it is important. Much has been written about it so I won’t endeavor to provide its substance here. Wilkipedia has a pretty good basic (and short) explanation. I will, however, try to give you an analysis that connects the dots to this soft coup taking place. You can read about the Magnitsky Act here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitsky_Act

Magnitsky
Sergei Magnitsky

The Magnitsky Act revolved around a company called Prevezon and an elaborate money laundering scheme inside Russia. Many times I have laid out for you just how corrupt the so-called Russian government is. The oligarchs control things and many government officials simply do their bidding. This scheme, involving a quarter billion dollars, was no different. It occurred in 2007, and was discovered in 2012. Russia brought charges, but failed to investigate thoroughly, due to who was involved. Meanwhile in America, law enforcement moved to seize questionable assets of Prevezon while bringing charges in America. This was sometime right around the election of 2016. The case was set to go to trial in the Southern District of NY in March of 2017. Coincidently, or not so coincidently, this is the exact time Preet Bahara was fired by Jeff Sessions. Bahara was the United States attorney for the Southern District of NY. The case was mysteriously settled for a mere $6 million in October of 2017. Now….did this firing, and this case, prompt anger at the CIA? Was Trump and Sessions beginning to ease pressure on Russia? You see the Magnitsky act gave the US government a lot of power over the Russian economy. Through the US banking system and their control over a lot of Central Banks, the US could now sanction anybody, anywhere in the world. A heavy hammer indeed!

 

So what does this have to do with Russian Collusion? Good question, and the right one. You see as we look to the scandalous acts of the justice system toward Trump, we are missing a lot of the surrounding machanations that have led us in one direction….conspiracy! This is really all about Russian sanctions and the CIA’s incessant desire to destroy Russia. Its not a coincidence that the authors of the Magnitsky Act are known to you…..Ben Cardin and yes, our friend……the “Hawk”, John McCain. The game the Hawks and the CIA are playing to destroy Russia is very dangerous. I would venture to say that Crimea, Georgia, Ukraine and so many other actions by Russia are a kind of retaliation to American sanctions and actions harmful to Russia and her oligarchs. These are not normal government leaders. They have access to armies, nuclear weapons, satellites and satellite weapons, and advanced delivery systems. Ever try to catch a snake in a corner? It will bite you….and you might die! This, my friends, is the game the CIA is playing.

 

During the campaign, Trump said many times he wanted better relations with Russia. We all, pretty much agreed that he was right…afterall, in 2016, terrorism was still front and center in most American households. We thought the US and Russia together could solve a lot of the world’s problems. But that’s not what the CIA wanted. In the summer of 2016, after he secured the nomination, the campaign was criticized for what was reported as chaos within the inner circle. “shake-up” after “shake-up” we were told was simply bad management….Trump didn’t know what he was doing. But Trump stuck to his idea that he wanted better relations with Russia. In June, he dumped Corey Lewandowski in favor of Paul Manafort, someone who had every reason to want better relations with Russia. Could this be why Trump brought him in? Then a lot of bad stuff came out about Manafort and he had to go. This was the exact time period the CIA hatched a plan to destroy him then have him removed from office. Russian Collusion was born.

 

ciaThis is why it is so hard to diagnose. We all agree Russia is not our friend. We also agree we must be careful when dealing with Russia. Trump believes we need Russia to help with NK, Ukraine, Syria, Iran…….all the big threats to peace in the world. The CIA, on the other hand believes we can solve those problems if Russia is destroyed. Both perspectives are probably correct and flawed. Trying to get Russia’s help in anything is not only difficult and costly, it could be very dangerous for our allies and friends. On the other hand, trying to crush Russia, could be even more dangerous to the world if we push them into war. Meanwhile, friends of the president are advising just how dangerous Russia is. They are breaking the sanctions on NK, they are breaking the sanctions on Iran, they are fighting back the only way they know how….using corruption. These so-called “friends” of the president are giving him information provided to them by the CIA.

 

Recently I uncovered an ancient interview of an Air Force colonel named Fletcher Proudy. It is from 1973…so its old. BUT! It is revealing because what he reveals is still going on and has grown to epic proportions within all parts of government. The interview was over an hour, but I cut out a 6 minute excerpt that explains what has happened to our government. Watch it before you go on, because everything else you read here has to be placed in the context of just how the CIA has taken over our government.

 

Now you should understand that the CIA has people all throughout the government, making policy decisions, and we don’t even know who they are or who they are working for. In the full interview, Prouty revealed that former secretary of state, Alexander Haig, was an early CIA employee, who rose through the system working for the CIA, attaining secretary status. Who knows, now, after 40 years, is taking orders from the CIA? When I wrote about what I believed to be connections between the Clinton Foundation and the CIA, even I thought I was crazy. But much of what I have found over the past few months, lead me to believe that that connection is real. That all the folks I discussed have one single mission….to destroy Russia. Russia has our foot on their throat. How would you expect them to react? By the way, this policy preference is great for a bloated defense industry thirsty for government contracts. The sanctions are crippling the oligarchs and that is crippling their already weak economy. All of this leads to what Russia has been doing to end the sanctions.

Natalia Veselnitskaya

It starts with the meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer that purportedly had dirt on Hillary Clinton in June of 2016. The meeting was reported as proof positive that Trump was colluding with Russians. But now we are learning that the meeting was orchestrated by elements within the government, working in concert with Russian friends.

For sure this is a very hard trail to follow, and I can’t be sure I have all the pieces yet, but I want to get what I now know out there while its fresh in my mind….because it is complicated. At the center of all of it is the Russian Oligarch, Oleg Deripaska. As you may recall, I wrote early about his friendship and relationship to Andrew McCabe that goes back to 2009. At the time, Robert Mueller was FBI director and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Mueller sent McCabe to Moscow to seek his assistance in acquiring the release of our CIA resource, Robert Levinson, who was being held in Iran. Deripaska had a deal made when Hillary Clinton pulled out, after Deripaska spent $25 million of his own money to get the deal done. Just why is unknown, but a quote from Deripaska in 2009, may reveal a possible reason: “They try to push me in a corner, maybe believing I would cooperate with them [with information]. There is a Russian interest I would never go through.”

But the relationship with Deripaska continued. In September of 2016, McCabe, once again solicited Deripaska’s help. They met in London and Deripaska was asked to provide damaging information on Manafort. Coincidently, he was offered $25 million for that information. Manafort had been a lobbyist for Deripaska and also entered into a business venture with him that went south. Deripaska sued Manafort. In the United States, Deripaska was represented by Adam Waldman, who just coincidently was also the attorney for Christopher Steele, the author of the notorious dossier. Waldman has close ties to the Clintons and worked in the Clinton Justice Department.

Oddly enough, in 2013, Natalia Veselnitskaya, hired Fusion GPS to lobby against the Magnitsky Act (Russian sanctions). We recently found out that Veselnitskaya had closer ties to the Kremlin than she had revealed. She was taking direction from people at the highest levels within the Russian government. She was closely tied to Sergei Prikhodko, a long time Russian government deputy director,

prikhodko
Prikhodko

minister, and administrator, and a man very close to Putin. I recently uncovered a video, made by the main opposition candidate to Putin laying out a case of bribery and other criminal activity within the Russian government and particularly with Prikhodko. Its ironic, because it fits into everything I have layed out so far. To understand why, you must understand how Deripaska is viewed in Russia. He is a billionaire oligarch and a criminal. He has strong connections to the Russian Mafia. I have outlined in other writings the connections in Russia between the sitting government and the oligarchs. So….with that understanding, the video reveals a secret meeting between Drripaska and Minister Prikhodko. The video is concerned that it was bribery, because the meeting was held over three days on Deripaska’s yacht, cruising in Norwegian waters. Aboard the yacht were several hookers, one of whom, wrote a book about what was discussed at the meeting. (She is now in hiding) Sanctions were discussed and the name of Victoria Nuland…assistant secretary of state under Obama from 2013 until January of 2017, was mentioned as the one responsible for those sanctions. This meeting was in September of 2016, just weeks before the Trump Dossier was first written. So….the inference is that the US State Department, in the person of Nuland, was using Deripaska to create credible evidence that Trump was colluding with Russia. I said create….not find, purposely. The difference is the difference between law enforcement and treason.

aaaaa
Christopher Steele

 

 

Now I have to change gears and talk about Britain’s involvement in all this collusion. As you should know, Christopher Steele was a long time MI6 spy, stationed in Russia. He worked with another agent named Pablo Miller (an alias). Miller was assigned to be the handler for a Russian spy turned double agent……Sergey Scripal. When Steele left MI6 he started an intelligence gathering company called Orbis. This is the company hired by Fusion GPS to get dirt on Trump. When Miller left MI6 he immediately went to work for Steele at Orbis. Scripal was a defector in effect and was likely the source of much of the dossier information. I don’t know how it fits yet, but Scripal is the double agent that was reportedly poisoned by the Russians. A poison was used that only the Russians use….how convenient! Personally I don’t believe it for a minute. This poisoning has everything to do with this collusion plot, I just don’t know exactly how or why….yet! But I can say that after this poisoning of a single Russian agent, Britain went crazy on Russia. They invoked all sorts of verbal warnings, and imposed over reaching sanctions. Was this what was intended? British counterintelligence was also involved through the “Five Eyes” treaty. They were secretly surveilling the Trump campaign and who knows what they were hearing. I can only speculate that they learned Trump was planning to lessen the sanctions on Russia. This had to be stopped.

It has been reported that FBI agents went to visit Oleg Deripaska when he was in London in September of 2016. The agents were seeking Deripaska’s help to gain evidence that Trump was colluding with Russia. They offered him $25 million to help. He laughed and said the entire idea was ridiculous. They asked him to think about it. They then asked if he could help with information on Paul Manafort, that would show Manafort was working with the Kremlin to influence the election. Even though Deripaska had every reason to provide that information, he said there was no such collusion. I suspect this is when they turned to Steele.

 

Now, without the context here and in many other pieces I have written, it would certainly look like the FBI was just doing their job…..but placed in the context of offering Deripaska money, offering to pay Steele for his information, and ultimately using that information in a warrant request that was not able to be confirmed….still leads us right back to a conspiracy to CREATE evidence, not find evidence. Much of the left’s reporting, completely ignores this context.

The next part of the story is a more thourough investigation of “spygate”. It has been reported and talked about by Trump that “spies” were placed into his campaign and his transition….even his administration. I believe I have identified four such players. The first I have written about at length, but I have new information that further corroberates what I wrote in “Who Is Carter Page”.

Carter Page is an intelligence operative. There can be no other conclusion. Let me start at the beginning of his education. As I list these things, remember he is a professional “expert” in the energy industry.

Carter Page
Carter Page

 

Carter Page is 48 years old. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1993. From there he was accepted into the Trident Scholar Program, reserved for the top 10% of his class. In that program, he completed a paper titled ”Balancing Congressional Needs for Classified Information”. After that, he moves on to Georgetown University where he completes a masters degree in “National Security Studies” in 1994. From Georgetown, he goes into active duty in the Navy, spending his last year there (1999-2000) stationed in Morocco working in Naval Intelligence. In 2000, he leaves the Navy and does a stint at the Council of Foreign Relations, where he goes to Russia to do “energy related research” in the Caspian Sea area. I could be wrong, but at this point, he is 30 years old, and I see no education related to energy. From that little research gig, he is handed a VP job working for Merrill Lynch in London, then soon travels to Moscow to set up Merrill’s first office in Moscow. According to the bio, he then completes an MBA from New York University in 2001. Surely that must be a typo. The next listing is his acquisition of a PHD from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in 2009. There he writes a dissertation titled: “transition of Asian countries from communism to capitalism” The dissertation is twice rejected by his advisors. Finally it is accepted when he receives new examiners….imagine that. Nowhere in his education can you find a hint of learning about the energy industry. But wait….there’s more. An energy expert in the field for over 20 years asked some questions. She went to Russia and talked to Page’s boss in Moscow. His name is Sergey Aleksashenko. He said this about Page:

“When it came to finance”, Aleksashenko says, Page “was not a specialist in any branches of finance or in any instruments. Judging by the drivel he spews on Russia, you can tell he doesn’t really understand the topic.”

Also talking with a co-worker, Artem Torchinsky, he said “mildly speaking, not competent in the field of energy.”

Then there’s this: After he left Merrill Lynch in 2008, he started his own, one man investment company, Global Energy Capital. On his most basic of websites he claims to have been involved in some major energy deals. He writes this about himself:

global energy

Well, it seems, not so much. Julia Ioffe that 20 year, experienced, energy expert asked some of her long time energy friends. Here’s what she wrote:
“So I called Ian Craig, the CEO of Sakhalin Energy from 2004 to 2009. But Craig said he didn’t know anyone named Carter Page. He was also surprised to hear about Merrill Lynch’s purported involvement in the deal. “I don’t think Merrill Lynch or anyone else was front-lining the negotiations, because it was all done at the highest level, because it was very political”

global energy 2

 “When I asked a prominent Western businessman, who has worked in the former Soviet Union for over two decades and who is said to socialize with Sechin and other members of the Russian elite, about Page’s claim to Bloomberg that he advised Gazprom on Sakhalin II, he said, “I rolled my eyes at that one.” (He, too, said he hadn’t heard of Page until Trump’s announcement.)”

So, bottom line is how he is portrayed in the media and even how he portrays himself just simply doesn’t jive with the facts about his background. Then I’ll add this: When we first heard the name Carter Page, it was that he was a possible Russian agent working on the Trump campaign. This is also how the Steele Dossier pictured him. It was often reported (and still is) that he was being investigated in 2013 by the FBI for possible Russian espionage. So what was he doing in 2013? In 2013, the FBI was investigating a Russian spy network in New York. The three Russian spies were trying to gather information on the American energy industry. Carter Page, working in NY at the time, became the hook of the FBI, to infiltrate the ring. The screen shots below are from a sealed pcomplaint/deposition document I found on-line. In the document the FBI special agent mentions “male-1”. This is Carter Page.

DOJ Complaint                DOJ complaint 2

 

This screen shot is an excerpt from that document:

Excerpt DOG complaint

It has been confirmed by Page’s own testimony before congress that he is male-1 contained in this document. The three men indicted in the case were Victor Podobnyy Evgeny Buryakov and Igor Sporyshev. The media has again and again reported that the Russians tried to recruit Carter Page. It just ain’t so! Look at this press release excerpt from the Justice Department after Buryakov was convicted.

DOJ press release

Male-1 is now referred to as UCE-1 which is short for UNDERCOVER EMPLOYEE! So in 2013 Carter Page was working undercover for the FBI to quash a Russian spy ring, not as an innocent victim or fellow conspirator. Now if all that’s still not enough to prove that Page was not an unsuspecting low level member of the Trump campaign, but an accomplise helping the FBI/CIA create evidence to frame Trump, then look at this one and a half minute clip I pulled from a Hannity interview. Hannity was the only one that ever asked Page the one question I wanted an answer to: “Did you work for the government?” Watch closely and tell me if you think he answered the question and was being honest. Watch how he quickly changed the subject.

 

 

 

All this information easily confirms everything I have written about Carter Page. He was used as the evidence that Trump was trying to soften the US position on Russia. He then became the legal cover to acquire surveillance warrants to listen to everything the campaign was saying and communicating. Trump was trying to change a long standing and on-going policy on Russia…..the CIA would have none of it! But Page wasn’t alone in this endeavor, he had lots of help.

richard burt
Burt

 

Lets move on to spy number two….Richard Burt. Almost none of you have heard of this guy, but he entered the campaign through Jeff Sessions. He was involved in writing Trump’s first foreign policy speech. In that speech, Trump put forth his desire to have better relations with Russia, which, inconceivably to many of us was roundly criticized by the main stream media. So who is Richard Burt? He’s been around government for a long time. You might want to refer back to the interview of Prouty above…..at least keep it mind as I talk about Burt. Burt graduated from Tufts University in 1971. That would make him right around 70. In 1977, he was selected as a fellow at the Naval War College. During his fellowship, he was assigned to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Upon that appointment, he received a letter congratulating him on that “new assignment”.

stansfield turner letter

The letter was from Stansfield Turner, the then director of the CIA. Three years later he’s working at the state department, and by 1985, he’s ambassador to Germany. Right at the end of Reagan’s administration, he was made chief negotiator for the START talks with Russia, and remained under GHWB. This guys been in and around government his whole life…..I have been studying government my whole life and I had never heard of him until now. Do you realize how many people just like this are in government? Quietly working behind the scenes on life changing policy? Anyway, somehow, its not known how, he hooks up with the campaign through Jeff Sessions. This is important because Sessions is accused of recruiting Carter Page and Richard Burt. You see the stories you’ll read about Burt always….only…..mention he is a lobbyist for Alfa Bank….one of the biggest financial institutions in Russia. They never mention the bio stuff I’ve put down here. But just like Page…he’s worked in government for a long time and ends up in Russia…..with not a smidgeon of experience in banking on his resume. Then the fact that Burt knew Carter Page is evidence that Burt might have been the guy that had Page put on a list of policy advisors for Trump.

I have to stop here for just a minute. It is so clear to me now, what’s happening. Every move these spies make, seem to add to the intrigue that Trump and his campaign are colluding with the Russians and are trying to change US policy in favor of Russia. The main stream media reports it all exactly the way they have designed it to be reported. Meanwhile a very small few of us have placed it into context….again….its the subtle difference between “looking” for evidence and “creating” evidence. When the spygate story came out, the MSM was quick to point out that these guys were not spies, but investigators seeking the facts…in other words, plausible deniability. You’ve seen it before with Hillary Clinton…..every time she has been caught red handed….she has a plausible story to deny her actual intent. It’s a common practice in business, so the boss doesn’t face charges when his company is caught breaking the law.

But let’s move on, shall we? The third spy is Stefan Halper. I’ve written a lot about Halper and so have many others, but he’s another guy that’s been in and around government forever. He starts out in 1971 being placed on the US domestic policy council….an office in the White House. He’s there for two years before being placed in the OMB in 1973. In 1974 he moves to become an assistant to

stefan halper
stefan halper

the WH Chief of Staff, then moving over to the Congress to become legislative assistant to senator William Roth. Now I don’t know about you, but these moves seem odd to me. But put into the context of the interview with Fletcher Proudy above they make perfect sense. The next move for Halper, was to go into the Reagan campaign in 1980. There, a scandal occurred called “debategate”. It was discovered in 1983, that Halper had been involved in the theft of some of Jimmy Carter’s secret campaign documents. By 1983, he is deputy assistant secretary of state for political/military affairs, whatever that is! Upon leaving the Department in 1984, he remained a Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense and a Senior Advisor to the Department of Justice until 2001. At the same time he became Chairman and majority shareholder, of Palmer National Bank of Washington DC…..reportedly the bank of the CIA. I could go on, but if you’re not convinced who Stefan Halper is….let me be clear…..he works for the CIA. In fact, Halper still, to this day is being paid by the government and since 2012, all his records have been classified and sealed. One pay document was discovered in a FOIA request by a news outlet:

halper pay record

The key to understanding Halper’s involvement is to understand his relationship to Page. Two guys from very different backgrounds…who have no seeming connection meet just prior to Page’s acceptance to be on the Trump campaign. According to the NY Post the two met for over a year:

“Halper made his first overture when he met with Page at a British symposium. The two remained in regular contact for more than a year, meeting at Halper’s Virginia farm and in Washington, DC, as well as exchanging emails.”

The spying started in March of that year, but the investigation didn’t begin, as we’ve been told, until July. Once Page was placed onto the campaign, he then recommends Halper in an e-mail:

Page has tweeted a line from an email he says he sent to the campaign on July 16, 2016, regarding Halper. Halper — Page referred to him as the professor — “offered a range of possibilities regarding how he and the University might be able to help,” You can read more about this here: Trump campaign vet: Informant used me to get to Papadopoulos

The final spy in the campaign was not an American but a professor from Malta. How in the world does a professor from Malta get involved with a US presidential campaign?

mifsud
Mifsud

Yeah, I asked the same thing…..but you should see by now what’s going on. This professor is no professor. His name is Josef Misfud. He is actually part of British Intelligence…GCHQ to be specific. GCHG is the British equivalent to our NSA. GCHQ has been involved in this escapade from the very beginning. I have talked about it before, but our “five-eyes” treaty, allows Britain to spy on Americans and share that information with our intelligence agencies circumventing our 4th amendment. It’s a great system that nobody knows about that has been used for decades. That aside, Misfud’s involvement was a little more personal. I’m going to skip Mifsud’s background because its sketchy at best, but I do have high confidence that he does work within the intelligence community.

He’s another guy that the press initially reported was a Russian spy trying to influence the election. This has now been debunked, but still there are those that cling to that story. Mifsud first approached Papadopolous in March of 2016. Again, this seems to be the time the whole plot to create evidence of collusion began. After all, Papadopolous had only joined the campaign 2 weeks before. At the March meeting, Mifsud made known to Papadopolous that He might be able to acquire the deleted e-mails of Hillary Clinton. Two months later, Papadopolous boasted about this knowledge to the Australian Ambassador, who promptly reported it to American intelligence. Then, Papadopolous was lured to London, by Halper, under the guise of doing a research paper. All expenses were paid and he was given $3000. He traveled to London, met with Halper, and again, was offered access to the Hillary e-mails. Papadopolous was subsequently arrested. This episode, has been stated by the FBI as the reason for opening an investigation on Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. But if all these guys meeting with Papadopolous as early as March were working for our government…..did they find evidence or did they create evidence? Its odd that Papadopolous was just sentenced to 15 days in jail for his part. A very light sentence for a “Russian” spy. But even being light, he is an innocent man, bearing the burden for the whole plot against Trump.

I simply have to stop here……it is so complicated that even I, as close as I am to it, just can’t understand all the connections. I really only told you this much, so you can see how all the names you have heard in the news all fit together to create one picture. That picture is that the people working in the US government before and during Trump have worked closer with the Russians than Trump could ever hope to do. And all these connections, led to…not the finding of evidence, but the actual creation of evidence to frame Trump and have him removed from office. It is and has been a relentless attack, and continues at this writing. Our only defense is to get this confusing information to the public.

Finally, I have high confidence, that Nunez, Gowdy, Goodlatte…and the rest….already know all of this and a lot more. As I said in my opening paragraph…..maybe its just too dangerous to our security to make it all public. We should notice that so far, hundreds of crimes have been committed….there is no doubt…..and no one has been indicted. Rather people have quit, retired or been fired. This only protects the system. The minute the first person is convicted and sentenced for a crime, and faces prison, the whole system would be in jeopardy. I know that many think that should happen, and maybe they would be right……all I’m saying is there’s a lot at stake in taking down our government.

“FOCAL POINT”

Old evidence as to how the deep state began and how it went wrong

deep state 1

For several years I have been writing about government corruption. Lately, however, I have written several pieces illuminating what I believe to be a coup taking place within the ranks of our intelligence community. To date I have uncovered many facts that point directly to it. In my piece “Who is Carter Page” and the following piece, “Who is Carter Page…Update”, I provide court documents that showed Carter Page actually worked for the FBI. I also followed the trails of Richard Burt, Stefan Halper, and others that had close ties to the CIA in “What Does A Coup Look Like” I can’t regurgitate all that here, you’ll have to go to the links to read what I discovered. The following information is predicated on the work mentioned above. If you have read this work then what you read here will make sense, if not I suggest you read that work first.

I think I have found a little bit of history, that may explain exactly how our CIA has gotten so powerful and, might I say, out of control. I found a 6 hour audio interview of an Air Force colonel named Fletcher Prouty. In 1989 he wrote a book titled “Secret Team”. In that book he revealed how he created a special program called the Tab 6 Organization, or “FOCAL POINT”. I would never expect you to sit through 6 hours of audio so I clipped out a 16 minute section that highlights a lot of what I want you to know. I hope you will listen to it before going on.

I will attempt to summarize more of it in this blog. But if you’d like to listen to the whole thing you can do that here. It’s in 4 parts, the link is to the first part, you should be able to find the others on Youtube.

prouty
Colonel Fletcher Prouty

Colonel Prouty served in the US Army Air Core beginning in 1941. He became a pilot and wound up in the newly formed US Airforce in 1947, where he became a colonel. He served years working with the also newly created CIA. In the interview he outlines at length, the history of the clandestine service, the necessity of such an organization, and especially the funding. To be as objective as possible, during his time in the spotlight, he was roundly criticized for what he revealed in his book, “Secret Team”. Congress conducted an investigation and their findings cleared the CIA of Prouty’s charges. However, Prouty was never reprimanded, charged with anything, or discharged. In fact he retired from the Airforce in 1964, months after receiving a medal of services from the joint chiefs. I note this because for months, this is what I concluded will happen with the investigations into the corruption within the DOJ, FBI, and Intelligence Community. They are just too powerful to be taken down. They will find a way to make it all go away. Prouty died in 2001.

Something I have stumbled across many times in my research, is just how all the money moves, where it comes from, and how its spent. I found that there is no published budget available, and this audio confirms that there is no accounting of where the money goes or where it comes from. Confirming what the colonel discussed, I could find a budget number for the IC but no other details. Overseas contingency Operations

The 2018 federal budget contains $73 billion for “national intelligence”. I did find something that may be related. When I was preparing for a speech I gave last year, I found that in the defense budget, there is a line item labeled “Overseas Contingency Operations” amounting to another $19 billion. I could find no information detailing what this money was for, but it continues to escalate, since it entered the budget in 2010. From this information, and what colonel Prouty has described, we can at least see there is a lot of money at stake, and not much detail as to how it is spent, confirming that there is no accounting, almost no oversight, and that it is up to a few unknown individuals as to just what that money is buying.

clinton foundation logo

When I started this blog in 2016, I began to chronicle the corruption of the Clinton Foundation. It wasn’t long before I began to talk like a conspiracy guy, when I wrote that I believed the Foundation had strong ties to the CIA, and that its consulting firm Teneo, allowed the CIA to operate in plain sight all over the world. Even I thought I was crazy. But in that research, I saw that a scheme had been created to allow foreign “donations” to enter the Foundation through its Canadian arm called the CGEP. These donations, by Canadian law, are totally undisclosed. The CGEP can then donate in bundle form to the Clinton Foundation. This money, then, is used in countries all over the world in ways that are not fully understood. To be sure the Foundation has had problems with its reporting, with its tax returns, and with the countless accusations of theft and fraud from many sources. Is there a connection between the Foundation and the operations of the CIA? Are the donations by Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Emirates, and Bahrain, to the tune of hundreds of millions used by the CIA for operations in Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and throughout the middle east? Are our hands as clean as we are led to believe? With what colonel Prouty has outlined, I doubt that anyone can ever know. But what I take away from all the circumstantial information is an organization doing what it thinks it should do for America and the world….while desperately trying to keep an illegal and unconstitutional operation from being exposed…..or stopped! It also gives credence to the idea that the people who countenance and support these actions want no part of an outsider coming in to office and upsetting what they have built over decades. Trump is a threat to all of it….a threat like they’ve never encountered.

Just why is this audio interview important to what we are seeing in the Trump investigation on Russian interference? In my work “What Does A Coup Look Like” I chronicle the actions of two American “politicos”….Richard Burt and Stefan Halper. These two inserted themselves into the campaign months before any investigation had been reported as having begun. Why? As I wrote then:

stefan halper
stefan halper

So let’s take a look at just who this Stefan Halper is. He has a long career, going back to the Nixon White House. He served as assistant chief of staff for the Chiefs of staff, Alexander Haig, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney, but more important to this story was his involvement in a CIA operation to provide information to the Carter Administration on the Reagan campaign.”

 

Now put Halper in the context of the Prouty recording. Who might Halper actually be working for?

Or what about Richard Burt? He worked under George Bush Sr. Before Bush was president, he was CIA director. From a Politico story speaking of Carter Page’s entry onto the campaign:

richard burt
Richard Burt

“One way to answer the question was to figure out how he even got on that list to begin with. One source suggested to me that Richard Burt, former U.S. ambassador to Germany, START treaty negotiator, and longtime lobbyist for Alfa Bank, was the nexus. It was Burt who helped draft Trump’s foreign policy speech in April, and had been advising the Trump campaign, via Senator Jeff Sessions, on foreign policy.”

 

Carter Page

And then there’s Carter Page. I outlined a strong case that Page was, indeed working for the FBI. You can read that case in the link above.

 

Let’s add another crumb to the story. Who is “Professor” Josef Mifsud?

mifsud
Mifsud

A Maltese academic that has some very strange credentials. In an article by Margot Cleveland, in “The Federalist” she discusses the strange case of Josef Mifsud. She begins the article with this:

 

What if Donald Trump is wrong? What if the Russia collusion investigation isn’t a witch hunt? What if it was a set-up—from the get-go?”

What about Alexander Downer, the Australian diplomat that supposedly was “just trying to help” when he reported his conversation with Papadopolous to the FBI, which is what the FBI told us prompted the investigation.  If this is what prompted the investigation, why were these operatives baiting Papodopolous months before the investigation began?

downer
Downer

You can read that whole piece here.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention two other things I have written about that come into better focus when placed in the context of Colonel Prouty’s interview. During last year’s Charlottesville tragedy, it just so happened that the entire crash and killing of a counter-protestor and the injuring of 19 others by a “crazed white supremacist”, was videoed by a man named Brennan Gilmore. His video was aired within minutes of the tragedy, by CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and all the usual suspects. What are the chances that Mr. Gilmore was an operative of the Intelligence Community.  Here’s what I wrote then:

“The one man who actually was literally in the right place at the right time recording the crash, the car, and its escape, in Charlottesville became an instant media darling at CNN. The day he made the video of the crash, it had barely been uploaded on social media, when CNN found him and interviewed him immediately after the crash. But that’s not the coincidence. His name was Brennan Gilmore. He was the Chief operations officer in the Central African Republic (CAR) in 2012, for the CIA. He was there during a bloody war pitting Christians against Muslims. We were on the Muslim’s side….we lost and Gilmore had to leave the CAR. He also worked for the failed democrat candidate for governor of Virginia, in 2016, Tom Pereillo. Not highly unusual that a CIA operative works for a campaign….no!…not at all! But the campaign did receive $375,000 from George Soros. That’s kind of strange. But it sure seems odd that a CIA agent finds himself in Charlottesville on the day that a violent clash occurs between white nationalists and ANTIFA, and just happens to be in the one spot where he can film it all, and immediately get on CNN, and another CIA agent is there to speak.”

One has to ask the question….was that part of the plan as well, to discredit Trump? Was the entire crash, mayhem, and subsequent non-stop media coverage, orchestrated by Brennan and the CIA in “collusion” with the DNC? You can see Gilmore’s account here in a video from MSNBC

Then there’s the worst mass shooting in American history in Las Vegas by a shooter, that more than a year later, we still have not been told what motivated this ugly act of senseless violence. But I can tell you,   Stephen Paddock, the shooter, owned a plane that he never registered a flight plan for the entire three years he owned it.

Stephen Paddock
Stephen Paddock

The identifying tail number was not listed in FAA files, and the number on the tail was listed in FAA records as a completely different aircraft. In Prouty’s interview, he reveals how the FOCAL POINT at the FAA was there many years, and rose to a top manager of the agency. Prouty even discusses that he believes that the assassination of JFK was a silent coup by the CIA, conducted for the sole purpose of stopping Kennedy from taking control of the CIA who had gone rogue in the Bay of Pigs episode. I for one, and none of you, want to ever believe our own CIA would do such things. It would go against everything we love about our country. But the evidence that the deep state exists and that the CIA is running the show is simply overwhelming.

I want to close by saying that so far…..nothing I have reported or have written has been yet disproved. To the contrary, each new story that comes out amplifies my findings. The CIA is in this up to their necks. They have operatives throughout government working for this, now, rogue agency. Do Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and their cohorts act like they want to preserve our democracy….save the nation from Trump, or rather, do they act like they are covering up something dark? You’ll have to judge for yourself. Only time will tell whether the people will be freed from this “Deep State”, or the Deep State will succeed in its efforts to keep it all secret and continuing, by sacrificing a few lambs to the slaughter.

The Deep State, Part 1

What is it, and is it a bad thing?

black-hawk-helicopter-3.jpg

I recently gave a talk about the Deep State. It is real! Although many of us have wondered about the strange policies coming from Washington for a very long time, we have mostly shrugged it off as politics. But what I found was a concerted effort by a few in government and business to run America the way “they” think it should be run. From the economy to foreign policy, things are done that absolutely defy the will of the people, break laws, and supplant the constitution. But who are “they” that perpetrate this arbitrary rule over America? We often hear the terms elite, establishment,  bureaucracy or swamp, to describe an unnamed, unknown force in Washington that does these things, never really knowing what or who those people are by name. But there are faces and names behind those vague descriptions of the entities that make up a Deep State within our government and society.

When those of us that understand the Deep State speak of it, we look at it as a bad, and maybe even an evil thing. But is it? Can laws sometime get in the way of doing things that need to be done? Are principles too hard to uphold, when other countries use those principles against us? Do ends justify means? Of course these are rhetorical and hard questions, but I would submit, they are questions asked and answered everyday in Washington and New York.

To understand the deep state, you first must understand the difference between Nationalism and Globalism. First, nationalism is an easy concept, but let me briefly explain it. From the early Greeks, humans figured out that the best way to live with each other is to stake out an area, create rules, create commerce, and live by a certain moral framework found in anyone of several religions. The Greeks called it a “city-state”. More modern times call it a “nation-state”. But the parameters and idea is the same. For 26 centuries the nation-state, has been the way civilization has evolved. Each citizen or inhabitant of the nation-state, held some identity with that state, a certain loyalty. Patriotism if you will. All members of the nation state had commonality in language, customs, rules, and terrain. They became protective of all those things. Nation-states chose leaders or leaders chose themselves, to protect the people, the property, the land and everything within its borders. However, as is human nature, some nation states wanted what another nation state had….a resource, their wealth, or a location. Sometimes this led to war. For most of those 26 centuries, war has been the flaw in Nationalism. The more nationalistic the world became the more and bigger wars that occurred.

Sometime after WWII, (1954) some rich and powerful people came together to see if they could solve this dilemma created by nationalism. WWII had devastated the planet. 70 million people were killed. Millions and millions more were hurt….millions displaced and homeless. More property was destroyed than existed. Fortunes were lost, resources were squandered, and starvation was everywhere. It was thought by these men that nationalism was at the root of the problem. As countries became more populated, they became more industrialized. They needed more of everything to sustain their populations and their economies.  These folks concluded that to stop the cycle of war, the nation-state or national interests must be replaced with global interests. At the time it was referred to as Atlanticism, and promoted as a “better understanding” of US-European relationships. This group of people was called the Bilderberg Group, as its first meeting, in 1954, was held in the Bilderberg Hotel, in the Netherlands. It continues to exist today, with the continuous participation of the CIA, since the beginning, and prominent corporate leaders such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Bill Gates of Microsoft, and plenty of other political and government elites such as Hillary Clinton, Tim Geithner, Henry Kissinger, Condolisa Rice, and Colin Powell. The hallmark of these members,  is the extreme secrecy of the gatherings. The shear mention of the Bilderberg Group has always been synonomous with conspiracy, but I am convinced that this large group of elites believes they are saving the world, with an ends justifies the means strategy.

National governments would  be replaced with global governance, commerce could exist world-wide, and resources could be shared by all, war could be a thing of the past….at least war on the scale of WWI and WWII. Thus, these few powerful people, fathered globalism.  It started harmlessly enough. Right after WWII, the United Nations was created. Finally an organization that could be the model for global governance. A body made up of all the nation-states of the world, that could come together to govern the planet.  But it was soon discovered that few countries were willing to give up their sovereignty…..their nation-state status, or their ability to control their own state.  Nationalism wasn’t going away anytime soon. So a new course was set. a long term solution to eventually arrive at the needed solution. Three things would have to be subverted within nations to achieve the required goals!

First, the institutional family had to be changed. Family structure is the fundamental building block of a society. It is structured in such a way that the father has the responsibility of providing for the rest of the family. To do this he needs to work. He needs a job, something to do that exchanges his labor for the things he needs. The mother’s traditional role was to have and nurture children. To populate the society. Needing a job, required resources, industry, a growing economy. A growing population required more of everything, and eventually, more jobs. The globalists believed these two fundamental functions of the family, is what leads to nationalism and war. If the population could be controlled, the need for jobs would be lessened. If the need for jobs was lessened, the demand for resources would decline, and expansionist desire would diminish.

Next, there must be a concerted effort to end or diminish the influence religion has over the culture. They recognize that a belief in God, only strengthens the values that build families. Religion is where we learn what our common values are. But religion and faith in God do something else……it teaches us to be self-reliant, and trust only in God. Not only that, but because religious beliefs can be so strong, opposing religions themselves, can be a source for war.  The globalists believe that faith must be in the state. The values that family and religion heap upon the citizens of a nation-state must be replaced with reliance and dependence on the state.

Finally, if control over the most powerful nation-states can be achieved by eliminating national governance and them with global governance, then the mission will be complete. So first, degrade and destroy the family, next discredit, marginalize, and destroy religion. Finally, create a dependence on the state, while subverting that state to conform with a global agenda.

So far, the strategy of the globalists is working, at least in the developed world. Europe’s population is declining and the birth rate of its citizens is far below where it needs to be to maintain the culture. In America, the birth rate is barely sustaining the population. And even in China, the population is controlled by force of law. Religion in the developed world is under assault. Although in Europe many claim to be Christian, it no longer acts like it. In my visit to Europe in 2005, I went on a tour of the famous churches in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Even on Sunday, the churches were empty.  The young have been led away from faith by the education system and the culture of tolerance and multi-culturalism. In America, Christianity has been attacked on many fronts. Universities, consumerism, abortion activism, and the government. Faith and religion has been systematically removed from the public square.  All over the world Islam is killing and attacking all other faiths and making it impossible for any of them to flourish. But Islam is not replacing those religions with merely another faith, but with an extreme ideology of conformance  or death.  You have to ask yourself are these things all simply happening at the same time, just circumstance? The natural order of things? Or are they being orchestrated by a globalist agenda. The more the people suffer, the more likely they are to turn to the state for solutions. But those solutions are no where to be found. The leaders, even ours, before Trump, are turning to global solutions. Nation-states  already turn to the United Nations security council before they take any action. They seek UN resolutions to bring other nation-states into compliance with global standards.  So if this is being orchestrated….who is behind it?

The Deep State is bigger than just a few politicians and bureacrats. It is fostered mainly by powerful, wealthy, multi-national corporations and financial institutions. Companies like Dow, Coke-Cola, Morgan Stanley, Chase, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, GE, Exxon, and many others. These businesses have huge investments in countries all over the world. They would not risk billions of dollars, without having some control over world affairs. These powerful special interests are the ones that provide the money that controls the politicians in the Deep State.

In my exhaustive study of the Clinton Foundation, I found links to several foundations that seem to be clearing houses for these funds. The Radcliffe Foundation in Canada, The Hellenic Initiative, The McCain Institute, The Cowen Group, Open Society, and The Rockefeller Foundation are but a few of these clouded funding sources. At first I thought it was a simple pay for play scheme created by greedy and corrupt individuals. But its more than that. Oh sure, there may be a lot of corruption, but much of what is being done is to shape the world and advance a global agenda. I found strong ties between these foundations and the intelligence community. The money passes from the corporations, to the foundations, to consulting companies, then to the CIA and private, covert paramilitary groups. What the money is used for, encompasses a wide variety of activity, all organized by the Deep State. Things like assassinations, currency manipulation, union bashing, coups, funding of terrorists, and overthrows of governments. All to maintain peace and keep commerce flowing, so investments are not put at risk. Like I said at the beginning…..the natural reaction is to think this is a bad thing and evil. It certainly is unlawful, but yet, is it needed?

Up to this point in the story, its all conjecture based on my research, but I do have examples that will help to put meat on the bones. As I go through these examples and profiles, try to remember the names, as they will come up in other places.

3342788AW015_AshcroftJohn Ashcroft. I’m not going to relay his entire life, but just the activities that lead up to his involvement in the deep state. You can read about Mr. Ashcroft here:

I suppose what Ashcroft does for a living is legal, but I just can’t recall where in the constitution the federal government was given the power to create private armies, then use those armies to perform military tasks for that government. And all while the American people have no idea what or why they are doing what they are doing. We are just paying for it.

Mr. Ashcroft is in the mercenary business. He employs thousands of ex-military, ex-law enforcement, and general tough guys to operate clandestine operations in foreign lands. In turn Mr. Ashcroft’s business, Constellis lands huge contracts from our government to do things that few actually know what they are. Here are just two headlines pulled from financial publications:

“Triple Canopy Wins $47.8M Federal Protective Services Contract”

“Constellis Awarded $975 Million Department of Defense (DoD) Counter Narcotics and Global Threats (CN & GT) Contract”

Since you probably never heard of Constellis, you should know they were formerly known as Alchemi. Never heard of Alchemi? It was formerly known as Xe Services. What? Never heard of them either? Well then, what about Black Water? Yes, Constellis started out as Black Water. Black Water had developed such a bad reputation in Iraq that I suppose it had to change its name. Remember these private mercenaries aren’t necessarily bound by military rules. But Constellis is much larger now. Even with all the scandals created by these “contractors” they are growing. Over the last 5 years, Constellis has been busy buying up all companies that deal in private security, computer hacking, intelligence, and war fair. Triple Canopy, Olive Group, Edinburgh International, Strategic Social, Apollo Group, and the most recent, the Centerra Group have all been added to Constellis’ stable. As long as there’s money, our deep state government can project its plans anywhere in the world by using these private companies, without getting permission from congress or the president. Secrecy is their main selling point.

So how does John Ashcroft, a CEO of a private company connect to such a conspiratorial entity as the Deep State? In 2000, Mr. Ashcroft became Attorney General under GW Bush. Right after his appointment and confirmation, 911 happened. Shortly after that we got the Patriot Act, which legalized all forms of warrantless surveillance. Something we are learning much more about….17 years later.

But let’s move on, shall we?

comey

Jim Comey. We all know who Jim Comey is. The now former FBI director, Comey has been part of the deep state for a long time. He has been one of those players that has been used to cover up crimes and make criminal acts go away. The deep state not only needs guys like Ashcroft to carry out missions, but it needs guys like Comey to keep it all secret.

Comey started his journey through the deep state prosecuting the Whitewater Investigation against Bill and Hillary Clinton. If I recall, no indictments or prosecutions ever occurred in that scandal. I say that with tongue in cheek, because no indictments or prosecutions ever take place with anyone connected to the deep state. It cannot be exposed, so punishing anyone using our constitution or statutes would risk exposure.  Comey became a Federal Prosecutor of the Southern New York District under GW Bush. Then, quickly became Deputy Attorney General a year later. He was placed in charge of the investigation into the controversial pardon of Marc Rich, ordered by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.  The pardon was instigated by then Deputy Attorney General, Eric Holder. Oddly enough, nothing untold came of these investigations. Imagine that! You can read more about this in my post “Into The Weeds 10” here. Marc Rich is an important link in understanding how the deep state functions. I will speak more about him in part 2 of this story.

Comey was soon moved to FBI Director under Obama, providing further evidence of his importance to the deep state, and the need for someone to cover up its activities. As FBI Director he had all sorts of responsibilities to bring to justice wrong doers in the government…..investigations were conducted over and over, with no one ever being indicted or convicted of anything that would send them to jail. Why? As I said before, to keep the deep state from being exposed. This has been Comey’s role for a long time.

george h w bush

George H. W. Bush.  Many Americans couldn’t tell you what George Bush did before he was our 41st president. Well, he was the head of the CIA, ambassador to the United Nations and ambassador to China, a congressman, and Vice President to Ronald Reagan. No man has been more connected to government or to the deep state. He was actually the man that popularized the term “New World Order”. He has been absolutely active in the use of and maintaining of the deep state, or what might be called the status quo. These people believe sincerely that this status quo must be maintained. Their goal to shape and create a global system has been front and center to US policies for a very long time. When Reagan won the republican nomination in 1979, his opponent was George Bush. Bush was the choice of the deep state and was next in line to become president……but like in 2016…the people spoke and elected Reagan. A deal was struck with Reagan and GHW Bush became the VP. Its one reason we should be leary of Mike Pence. A similar deal was struck with Trump to make Pence the VP. If you recall, Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt. Trump’s election was once again, the people speaking. Hillary Clinton was next in line to become president…the deep state choice.

Bush was the president that instigated, negotiated and crafted, NAFTA. Although it was signed into law by Bill Clinton, all the work to create it was done under George Bush sr. He worked very hard to advance globalist trade policy. He became very good friends with Bill Clinton, and they worked together using the Clinton Foundation Global Initiative as a platform. Billions of dollars moved through that initiative to conduct all sorts of global policy initiatives. I have outlined many of the Clinton Foundations activities in past posts. The entire series “Into the Weeds” starts here.

ciaThe intelligence Community.  I could spend hours and days writing about all the past and present deep state players in the intelligence community. Men like James Clapper, John Brennan, Mike Morrell, Mike Rogers, Mike Pompeo, and Michael Hayden, are just a few of the names we see in the news…the heads of security force agencies like the CIA, NSA, National Intelligence and Homeland Security. But there are actually 16 of these agencies in our government, many of which Americans never knew existed. One other thing to note is that the heads of many of these agencies are “lifers”. That is to say, they are long term employees, that work in the bureaucracy. Of the 16 heads, Trump has only appointed three to replace. These people, and the people that work for them, are the “SWAMP”. this is the core of the deep state, and the people working very, very hard to maintain a status quo, and to avoid being exposed.

IC Community

Each one of these heads has hundreds if not thousands of people working hard to keep America safe. But what does that really mean? They gather intelligence of all kinds: Phone calls, e-mails, financial transactions, purchases, sales, books, articles, tips, people movements, and even the movements of girlfriends, wives and children. They use electronic information, satellites, and lots of human intelligence to do this gathering. Most of it is useful to actually mount a defense against our enemies and terrorists around the globe, but some of it is used to “shape” events to maintain the status quo, prevent world war, to maintain commerce that helps the corporate structure of the world, and to continue to work toward a globally governed world….in other words….to keep the money flowing. The money I’m talking about is in the trillions, and some of it finds its way into the pockets of corrupt and dishonest people like the Clintons, Putin, Soros, Podesta, the DNC, the RNC, Lobbying firms,  lots and lots of consultants, and even criminal enterprises. All of this corruption done in the cause of keeping America safe and maintaining the status quo. It is important to understand how easy it is to have unchecked power, which can abused. As if it isn’t bad enough to work towards a goal counter to American’s own interests, this power can be used to destroy people, ruin industries, and if used politically, destroy opponents, and keep the “wrong people” out of office. Trump is one of those people and a real threat to the entire enterprise.

Seal_of_the_U_S__National_Security_Agency

It is certainly deeper and more audacious than just these 16 heads of agencies. Take one Intelligence Agency, the NSA: Here is an outline of the know divisions within the NSA:

  • The Technology and Systems Directorate
  • The Operations Directorate
  • The Information Systems Security Directorate
  • The Plans, Policy and Programs Directorate
  • The Support Services Directorate
  • Directorate only known from unit F6
  • Directorate only known from unit G112
  • Information Assurance Directorate (IAD)
  • Directorate only known from unit J2
  • Installation and Logistics
  • Human Resources
  • Security and Counterintelligence
  • Research Directorate
  • Signals Intelligence Directorate (SID), Customer Relations
  • Analysis and Production Center South Asia, S2B: China and Korea,
  • S2C: International Security
  • S2E: Middle East/Asia
  • S2F: International Crime
  • S2G: Counter-proliferation
  • S2H: Russia, S2I: Counter-terrorism
  • S2J: Weapons and Space
  • S2T: Current Threats
  • Data Acquisition
  • Cryptanalysis and Exploitation Services (CES)
  • Tailored Access Operations (TAO)
  • Global Access Operations (GAO)
  • Collections Strategies and Requirements Center
  • Special Source Operations (SSO)
  • Technical Directorate (TD)
  • Directorate for Education and Training
  • Directorate for Corporate Leadership
  • Foreign Affairs Directorate
  • Acquisitions and Procurement Directorate
  • Information Sharing Services (ISS)Each of these sub-divisions of the NSA, is also headed by its own under secretary or chief, all with many, many employees. But more important is all the folks that have access to intelligence. The collection of information is massive. The 16 heads above and eight members of congress, known as the gang of eight, are the only people who have access to what’s known as the “raw data”. That is, the actual conversations, e-mails, or other communications collected. That is until weeks before Obama left office. He signed an executive order giving access to this raw data to hundreds and hundreds of employees in all these subdivisions of the intelligence community. Previously, in order for raw data to be seen by anybody, a warrant had to be obtained.

Just one quick example. Let’s say there’s a very wealthy businessman in Nigeria. This man is providing valuable information to Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, on the movement of weapons by Hezbollah. This man tells Mossad he is having a problem with the terrorists of Boko Haram threatening his string of Nigerian hotels. Mossad informs the CIA. The CIA  asks John Ashcroft at Constellis to send over a contingency of “contractors” to Nigeria to assassinate a leader of Boko Haram, in or around Lagos, Nigeria. They are also to send a message that the hotels in question are off limits to Boko Haram. They can do this by killing a bunch, or by paying a lot. Either way they keep the hotels open and safe, and keep the information flowing. All, off the budget, and paid for with some slush fund from a foundation, corporate coffers, or seized assets. This is not a fictional example…..it actually happened!

Recently, we saw the evidence of this deep state using their power politically. This is an absolute abuse of this power. What has occurred in reports of surveillance of the president, unmasking of names, and leaking of classified information has one and only one purpose….to discredit and stop Trump as soon as possible. Its a hard road to ho for the deep state,  because no one can get indicted, convicted, or go to jail, without threatening the power structure itself. Although few, they do have limits to their power

But the big target is oil. Operations are going on everyday in foreign lands, conducted by our intelligence agencies in conjunction with private companies like Constellis, to keep the oil flowing and available, so prices remain stable. If a sovereign government like Iran decides to shut or slow the flow, the intelligence community will find a way to turn it back on all the way. If it requires an entire government to be toppled, or just a leader to be changed, they have the resources to do it.

The Parties. Yes, even our political parties are involved in the deep state. They groom and prepare the next person in line to enter the deep state apparatus. They know in advance, who will be the next choice for senator, president, Attorney General,  any ambassadorship, or any key position that needs to be filled. We call them the establishment. Its not all the politicians,  but it is a significant amount of people. You can look to senators and representatives that have been serving for decades. Most of them know all about this deep state, and work hand in hand to aid in their goals of achieving globalism, under the guise of keeping America safe.

Not long ago, in another blog post I made, I uncovered a powerful woman involved in the parties that connected a few dots. Her name is Julianna Glover. She was an important RNC operative, who owned her own lobbying firm. She was a significant fund raiser for the RNC, and had lots of private parties, hosting many donors to the party. After active involvement in the NeverTrump movement she sold her lobbying firm, left the RNC and went to work for Teneo…..the consulting firm to the Clinton Foundation……all….while being a “senior advisor” to John Ashcroft at The Ashcroft Group, a lobbying firm of Constellis. This from the Ashcroft Group website:

“strategic consulting, security and internal investigative services, and crisis counseling, for countries, corporations and industry and political associations.”

 

 

The hierarchies of the parties are a key part of the deep state. They must ensure that the right people get elected. They run the campaigns, choose the candidates, control the money, and even select the winners. They control the polls, the messages, and to a great extent, they control the media. Without the parties, Americans would choose the “wrong” people to maintain the status quo. This happened with Trump….he was the wrong guy.

In the second part of this blog post, I will detail a special person who was part of the deep state just a few years ago. His story will illustrate for you how the deep state shaped world events, by illegal means to “hurt our enemy” while “keeping America safe”. I hope you’ll stay tuned..

 

The Battle Continues

We must win the fight against the progressives!

An essay from my great friend Robert Surgenor. Robert is a retired detective, long time police officer, author, photographer, and IT expert who is a true American conservative and patriot. He sees the problems of America through the eyes of common sense. I am proud to include his latest essay on my blog.
tea_party09
Buckle up folks. Many of you are aware of what I am about to say, but many are clueless as to what is happening in our political world right now.

If we lose the fight I am about to describe, the United States of America will cease to exist as a free nation designed by our forefathers as a representative republic that provides opportunities and freedoms that no other country has ever experienced in the history of the word.

The progressive socialistic movement in this country has been taking baby steps for years to take control of our government. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all took steps to rip the control of our government from “We The People” and to transfer that authority to themselves. They had grand plans to complete their mission with the election of Hillary Clinton. They miscalculated the will of We The People, and the tenacity of Donald Trump.

But it didn’t take long for the progressive movement to regroup. Barack Obama has set up headquarters in Washington. There is overwhelming evidence that there is a network of noted liberal leaders working together in what could be described as a “shadow government.” And the major objective of this organization is to disrupt and destroy the efforts of Donald Trump.

The progressive liberals hate conservatism. And they are dedicated to destroying it. They believe an unborn baby can be murdered. The conservative movement is a threat to that activity. They believe that men should be allowed to marry men. The conservative movement believes otherwise. They believe that the hard earned dollars of the working man should be given to people who don’t work. Conservatives believe that a person should be allowed to keep what they earn, and if you can work and don’t, you don’t live. Both classic and social liberalism are a threat to conservatism.

The liberals are busy disrupting the town meetings being held by the Republicans. They want to make it appear that conservatives are unhappy with Trump. Closet liberals, like John Boehner are making public statements to discredit Trump and his desire to dismantle Obamacare. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck You Schumer spend hours in front of the news cameras lying to the American people about Donald Trumps’s objectives. Elizabeth Warren has been seen screeching about how she is single handedly going to stop Donald Trump from building his wall. Inside the Trump administration, Obama appointees, still working in many of the numerous departments within the government, are leaking secret information to the media and throwing roadblocks in the way of progress that Trumps hopes to accomplish.

The swamp is much deeper and more dangerous that anyone imagined. There are citizen activists that want to destroy Trump. There are Democratic elected officials that want to destroy Trump. There are Republican elected officials that want to destroy Trump.

We The People had better become engaged in this conflict. If we lose, America will no longer exist. Seriously!
